Apps

TapPath

Android's "open with" menu has been through a new iteration for almost every new release, but it's still not much better than the awkward desktop interfaces it's based on. TapPath gives you a slightly more natural way to send links to different apps: you can select which app opens it with one (default), two, or three consecutive taps. The initial implementation is a little buggy, but power users should find a lot to love here.

--

TapPath allows you to customize how clicking a web link in a 3rd party app behaves. A single click will load your default browser as you're used to, but a double click might load Pocket and a triple click might load PushBullet. Think of the time you'll save. Which apps are loaded is of course entirely customizable by you.

Blur - A Launcher Replacement

Here's a unique alternative to the usual grid-based launcher apps: Blur. Not to be confused with the old Motorola skin, Blur is an interesting take on the Android launcher, which "embeds" apps on each screen as pages (or giant widgets). Unfortunately apps will need to be updated to support this functionality, and so far only the Talon Twitter client and EvolveSMS (from the same developer) are supported. Some advanced features require a one-time unlock purchase.

--

Welcome to Blur, our launcher replacement. Blur is a custom launcher designed by Klinker Apps Inc. to bring you the most innovated experience on Android. With Blur, any developer can go in and create a "Page" for their app that can be displayed right on your homescreen, just a swipe away. Think about it like the Google Now Launcher, but instead of being limited to just Google Now on the side, you can use any app with a supported "Page".

Snapshot

Here's one of those "why didn't I think of that" tools. Snapshot will automatically detect when you unlock your phone in a landscape orientation, and open your camera app as soon as you've unlocked it. AOSP and most of the manufacturer skins include a camera unlock function these days, but they tend to disappear when you enable a pattern, PIN, or password lock, so this is a great alternative for security-conscious shutterbugs.

--

Snapshot... capture that special moment. You just missed to capture that special moment because your camera was not ready yet? Then its time to try Snapshot. Launch your camera instantly, also from locked phone. Just hold your phone as if you want to take a picture and turn screen (off and) on. Snapshot will automatically launch your camera app and you are ready to shoot. Don't struggle with wrist breaking gestures and battery draining launchers.

WeTransfer

Moving big files across the Internet is pretty tough even with a full-sized desktop machine, but WeTransfer is aiming to make it easier on mobile. The new app allows you to make a direct point-to-point file transfer of up to 10GB for free, assuming you can keep the connection open long enough to complete it. The simple interface achieves video and photo sharing with a series of taps and swipes, so it might take some getting used to.

--

Simply select your photos & videos or use the share button, add your friends’ email addresses and upload up to 10GB. Enjoy inspiring backgrounds during the transfer. Your friends will receive an email with a download link. There's no signup.

Zoe (Beta)

Zoe is finally available for everyone! You know, Zoe! HTC's Vine-style micro video app! The one that no one asked for! Now you don't need a member of the HTC One family to shoot, edit, and embed short videos, which was apparently impossible before.

--

Zoe is a simple way to create, share and remix professional quality highlight videos—and it’s even better when your friends pitch in. Choose the photos and videos you’d like to share, add a filter to give your highlight video a unique look, and choose the perfect soundtrack. Bring shared moments to life by inviting friends to remix your video, and remix theirs. Remixing lets you to add the best photos and videos from everyone who was there to create the ultimate highlight reel.

Olympic TV

Remember all those Olympic apps that sprang up just before Sochi? Apparently the IOC's generally awful handling of everything extends to their mobile software, because this app is just in time for... the Summer Youth Olympics. Awesome. The app looks decent, and at least the lower profile for the kids' games means you don't need a cable package (or any kind of charge) to tune in.

--

Olympic.tv App, using the Olympic Video Player (OVP), is an exciting live video service, enabling users to watch live and on-demand video from the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games. Olympic.tv App is brought to you by the International Olympic Committee and is made available free of charge to all users. The application requires a 3G, 4G or WiFi data connection. Watching video over a 3G or 4G connection may affect your mobile/wireless data plan.

SpinMe Alarm Clock

The idea of a digital alarm clock that makes you get up and do stuff to turn off the noise is a popular one. More popular than we realized, in fact: the legitimate creator of the iPhone app "SpinMe" had to get a copycat alarm clock taken off the Play Store. In the now official Android release, you'll have to stand up and spin around three times like it's Field Day at elementary school before you can silence that alarm.

--

Suck at waking up? Are you the type of person to set multiple alarms a few minutes apart from each other just to make sure you wake up on time? If so, say hello to your new alarm clock. SpinMe Alarm Clock is a super clever app designed to get you out of bed on time. The only way to turn off the alarm is by getting out of bed and physically spinning yourself around until the alarm stops. There is no escape.

Fragment

If you're as sick of the endless Instagram clones as I am, give Fragment a try - it's more like an automated form of modern art than a regurgitated filter machine. The various prisms and reflections give photos an otherworldly look. While it's not exactly prime selfie material, the resulting photos are interesting, and you can mix and match the various filters and fragmentation techniques. Naturally, sharing to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is built in.

--

With Fragment, you now have the power to transform any image into totally unique, one-of-a-kind prismatic art you’ll want to share with everyone. Whether you’re looking to completely redefine and enhance your level of mobile photography, or simply want to add a subtle dose of creativity to your pictures, Fragment puts the artistry in your hands.

Afterlight

Yup, this is another Instagram-style photo editor. If you're not interested, feel free to skip on down to the next app. If you are, you'll be pleased to know that Afterlight includes 15 tools, 27 filters, 66 textures, and 15 different frames/crops. Or you could just upload your photos as they were taken, like the good Lord intended. Hey, I'm just throwing it out there as an option.

--

ShareConnect

Citrix, the folks behind GoToMeeting and other business-focused tools, have a new remote desktop app they'd like you to try out. ShareConnect does most of the things its competitors do, but it also has a nifty and surprisingly attractive integrated file browser with limited Office support. It works on Windows and Mac, and for the moment, both the app and the server application for your desktop are free.

--

ShareConnect brings your desktop to your fingertips. Your files and apps are optimized for your tablet, so you can remotely access your work in a whole new way. You get instant file access, and your desktop applications feel like they were made for your tablet. You can pinch, zoom, swipe and have full keyboard control in a new, easy-to-use remote computer experience.

Rivet News Radio

Rivet is a radio news network, minus the radio part. The new Android app has quick and easy links to all the network's bite-sized news stories. The interface is relatively huge, intended to be used in the car with minimal fuss. While the short stories aren't exactly broad, they cover the gamut of US news with "top of the hour" summaries and 5-minute segments that go a little more in-depth.

--

Rivet News Radio delivers personalized audio news to your smartphone.

Turbo Editor ( File Editor )

Android has a built-in text editor, but to call it "limited" is an enormous understatement. Turbo Editor is a desktop-style file editor that lets those of you with the know-how dig deeper into HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, and a handful of other programming languages to manually edit text and files. Turbo supports root permissions and has an interface that's functional on both phones and tablets. Bonus: it's open source.

--

Sudo PicRemove

In terms of raw data, pictures are big, and if you take a lot of them, they're eating up a big portion of your available storage. Sudo PicRemove (which doesn't actually require superuser permissions, by the way) automates the removal of old photos. It'll tell you when it's cleaning up your storage, and hold them in a temporary recycling bin. This is super-handy for anyone who has automatic uploading to Dropbox or any other cloud service enabled.

--

Unlimit your inner photographer. With this app, you no longer need to worry about running out of space on your device, so you can snap away to your heart's content.

Photo management is hassle-free: once you reach a certain threshold, the app will let you know it's time to clean things out. Once you clean up, images go to a trash bin for temporary holding where you can rescue any pictures that you want to keep on the device.

Ignore No More (Free)

If your brat of a teenager is refusing to call you back on the phone that you bought him, Ignore No More is a perfect solution. It will allow you to remotely lock down the phone until your kid calls or texts you, effectively turning that fantastic Internet machine into a plastic brick until Junior phones home. It's tough to work around, works on multiple kids' phones at once, and doesn't interfere with 9-1-1 calls.

--

Painter Mobile

There are a lot of relatively simple Paint-style apps available for Android, but this mobile version of Corel's fantastic Painter program appears to be the real deal. With a staggering array of brushes and tools, support for up to 20 layers at a time, gestures for common actions, and Wacom stylus capability, Painter Mobile is made with the dedicated digital artist in mind.

--

QuickBooks Self-Employed

Intuit is well-known in the world of DIY taxes, and the company's latest app is specifically aimed at those self-employed people who want to take absolutely every possible deduction they can.

Narrate (Journal/Diary/Notes)

Narrate is a diary/journal app. There's nothing stopping you from keeping a journal in Google Docs, but Narrate (which doesn't have a whole lot to do with actual voice narration) is formatted for daily entries and some personal statistics.

Vint

Vint is basically like Uber for workouts. You still have to drive yourself there, but it allows local trainers to advertise their services and accept reservations from anyone at any time. You can also chat with trainers via the app's built-in client, and Vint supports both one-time payments and recurring subscriptions. But like all of these hyper-local apps, Vint only works in San Francisco to start. Bay Area nerds, you now have no excuses for skipping leg day.

Digital Insurance Card

There are a ton of apps that will let you scan your SuperSaver cards and show them to the cashier, but your health and car insurance cards are certainly more important. Digital Insurance Card does what it says on the box, saving all the relevant data from your cards for easy access in an emergency. It supports most of the big companies, and allows users to lock the app with a secondary PIN code. Note: digital insurance cards aren't acceptable for all states or insurance companies.

Backblaze

Another week, another official client for a cloud storage service. Backblaze doesn't seem particularly remarkable aside from the "unlimited" backup service for $5 a month. The Android app is simple, but effectively makes your backed-up PC files available on mobile with easy sharing to most other cloud and social services.

--

Rove

Ugh, I just got back from a two-week vacation where something like this would have been extremely useful. Rove automatically catalogues your journey by letting you know where you went and by what method of transportation, then organizing your photos into folders based on day and location. The app prides itself on privacy, so there are no automatic connections to other photo services.

--

LifeStats - Automatic Journal

Amazon Local Register

This one was basically inevitable. Local Register is Amazon's version of the Square and PayPal credit card readers, allowing regular old people (and savvy small business owners) to accept credit and debit card payments with only a phone or tablet. To undercut their new competitors, Amazon is offering a lower rate of 1.75% until 2016. The headphone jack-mounted reader gadget costs $10, which is pretty standard. Thankfully, Amazon decided not to restrict the app to its own phones or tablets.

--

Accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit and debit cards on your mobile phone or tablet. Process simple transactions on the fly or customize the programmable register to fit your business with categories, images, product variations and more. Deposits to your bank account the next business day. Or spend your money at Amazon.com within minutes. Next-day deposits require transfers by applicable cut-off times and are subject to reserves. Not all banks support next day deposits.

Quick Circle Apps

One of the cooler features of the LG G3's software skin (if you can stomach the rest of it) is the Quick Circle, which remains visible through certain first-party cases. This app gives you even more options for that functionality, including a universal music controller, calendar agenda, notification mirrors, wireless toggles, and... wait for it... an LED flashlight toggle. Nice.

--

Collection of apps for your Quick Circle case in your LG G3, With this apps, you can do plenty of actions without unlock your device like control your music or turn on the torch. AND IT IS OPEN SOURCE - https://github.com/yoavst/quickapps .!.! The app currently include those models:

I'm loving Voxel Rush. Awesome graphics, music and game play. Did you figure out the other modes of the game though? Other than the normal mode, I'm not able to start the game in the other modes.

For real?

Big Tony

Truly a WTF app, lol.

Yo!

Yo!

Moyako

The ratings in the Amazon app... no thanks

xaronax

It's rated that way because people are morons. They are so incompetent they can't sign up for an Amazon account, they try to use it on unsupported devices, and they whine about paying for the reader even though you get the fees waived to reimburse you for it.

Play Store reviews are as bad as YouTube comments.

Rahul Srivastava

AP should a section with all the newly updated and launched Material design apps.

I've been using the quick circle apps for a while and they are awesome. Made the purchase of this case a good choice.

Fernando Rigon Vicentini
